Memory::Usage - Tools to determine actual memory usage
Version 0.201
use Memory::Usage;
my $mu = Memory::Usage->new();
# Record amount of memory used by current process
$mu->record('starting work');
# Do the thing you want to measure
$object->something_memory_intensive();
# Record amount in use afterwards
$mu->record('after something_memory_intensive()');
# Spit out a report
$mu->dump();
This module lets you attempt to measure, from your operating system's perspective, how much memory a process is using at any given time.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-memory-usage at rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at <http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Memory-Usage>. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
You can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command.

Iteratively run coderefs (similar to Benchmark) and compare their memory usage. Useful for optimizing specific subroutines with large memory usage once you've identified them as memory hogs. Uses same technique for gathering usage information as this module, so accuracy and precision suffer similarly.
Show the size of Perl variables. Also useful for microoptimzations when you know what you're looking for. Looks at Perl internals, so accuracy is good.
